A WORK THAT EATsUP STEEL RAILS.
The existence has just been discov-
cred OF detestible microbe which
feeds upon iron with as much gluttony
as the phylloxera upon the vine. Some
time ago the greatest CONSERVATION
existed among the engineers employ
ed upon the railway at Hagen by the
accidents occurring at the same place,
proving that some terrible defect
must exist either in the material or
the construction of the rails. The
German government directed an in
quiry to be made and commission
Of surveillance to be formed for the
purpose OF maintaining constant watch
on the spot where the accidents--one
OF them attended with loss OF life
had occurred. 1t was not, however,
until SIX months had elapsed that the
surface of the rails appeared to be
oorroded, as if by acid, to the extent
of 100 yards. The rail was taken up
and broken, and it was perceived that
it was literally followed out by thin
gray worm, to which the qualification
of "ironoverous' was assigned and by
which name it is to be classed in
natural history. The worm is said to
be two centimetres in length aud OF
the size of the prong of a silver fork
in circumference. 1t is of light
gray color, and on the head carries
two little glands filed with corrosive
secretion, which is elected every ten
minutes upon the iron. This liquid
renders the iron soft and spongy, and
of the color of rust, and it is. then
greedily deyoured by the insect.
There is no exaggeration," says the
official report of the commission, ''in
the assertion that this creature, for
its size, is one of the most voracious
kind, for it has devoured thirty six
kilogrammes of rail in fortnight

SPIES KISSED By HIS NINA.
Tho Proxy Union Scaled by a ConnubIa
Salute Through the Bars.
Chfoao0 MI

chicago Mall,
Miss Nina Van Zsndt kissed August
Spies through the bars of the county Jail
this morning. All the world, as repre-
sent by half dozen reporters and IS
many curious visitors, saw her do it, and
she did not seem biz ayerse to the pub
licity. The kiss WAS not one of those
close, contactual affairs that are given by
Emma Abbott to MIR Castle, or by Mrs.
Langtry to Mr. Coghlsn. But it was just
as public. Nina came early, and was
more than usually demonstrative through
out. She hell Spies finger, which
he showed through the iron screen,
for long time, and before
she took her departure rose on tiptoes
and kissed the bars against the other side
of which Spies lips were tightly pressed.
The sound of the lip salutstion was
scarcely audible, yet Parsons, who was
leaning his slight frame against the wire
screening, talking to a Mail reporter,
shuddered and stepped hurriedly away
looking as much hurt as though an cleo
trio shock had passed from Nina's lips
across the heavy screening and into his
body. This is the first time Miss Nns
has publicly dared to kiss her pr KY hus-
band, yet she seemed not to notice in the
least the stsres of all the jsil visitors, and
this morning, after kissing Spies, she held
her pretty head higher than ever.

Argument Is Begun on a Motion to APP
point Receiver.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, Oct. 20.-Argument
was begun yesterday in the Mormon
church cases on s motion to appoint
receiver. A statement of facts was sub
mitted and sgreed upon by the opposing
counsel, showing that John Taylor, last
February conveyed to different state in
situations the personal property OF the
church, located in several counties,
valued at S2G,98s,249; that the
church has remaining only the
temple; block in this city valued at
$4,000; the Ti.hing block, $50. 900; s
meeting palace, $50 600; but the receiver
appointed should not be limited in his
search for property to the items specified
therein. 1t is claimed by the church that
the Mormon church corporation was dis
solved and thst the April conference in
1887 appointed three trustees, W. 3.
Preston, presiding bishop, with Counsel
lors Robert T. Benton and John r Win
der, to take charge Of such property as
the church was not allowed to hold.

STARTLING POSTAL LAW
No More Advertising on Envelopes to be
All0wed-'h'rd Assistant Pos!mss-
ter.6eneral Harris Discovers
An Old L Nv and an Edict has Cons Forth
That VIII Seriously Affect tho Business
Mon OF the Whole Country.
Kansas City Journal.

CHICAGO, ILL Oct. Is The most en-
phaticslly unpopular man in the country,
among the almost unlimited class Of busl-
ness men which has printed stationary
for use In the mails, is Third Assistant
Postmaster General B. r. Harris. About
a week ago he discovered postal law
which has never been enforced, prohibiI-
ing the printing of any advertising mat
tiers upon envelopes or wrappers of what
soever description. The law expressly
stipulates tnat nothing but a ZANE and
address should appear on either,
whether in the second, third or fourth
class OF mail matter, not even the
line "attorney at law" or "banker," or
"oroker," or "commission merchant"
would be allowed. Having made this
discovery Mr.. Harris indited an order to
the postmasters of the country instruct
ing them to exclude such matter after the
receipt thereof. The result WAS the
throwing of q bomb into the business
mems camp. The amount OF matter that
was rejected in every division of the mails
was something startling. The business
men sent up howl that was large and
exceedingly earnest. Complaints poured
in, but they received no comfort. The
edict has gone forth, and advertising mat
ter on wrappers and envelopes was no
m re. Throughout the country the extern
sive manufacturers and merchants have
probably $50, 900, 900 invested in printed
stationery, which, under the new order,
would be useless. What was to be done
with that? Assistant Postmaster Harris
was required to answer this question,
and the pressure became so great that it
W 3 finally determined to allow it to be
used, provided the Objectionable portion
was scratched of On some envelopes is
printed the cut of building or an inven-
ton or trade mark in addition to the
worded advertisement. The Sc pictures are
to be disploced by mark and the words
are TO be scratched out severally. But
those merchan who send out catalogues
and other printed matter, advertising
their business, Instituted vigorous war
against the order, and yesterday sue
ceeded in getting an order from Harris
permitting them to send third class mat
ter with such lines as emusic and book
publishers" "manufacturing jewelers."
etc, on it's cover.
This Is small concession, but Is re-
garded as valuable by those whom ii
touches. All other mail mstter, how
ever, comes under the general rule.
Business men are still Directing, and as
sert that the action OF the department in
not giving them at least six days. notice
in which to work of their printed sta
tionery Is extremely inconsiderate to say
the least.
